18: HoA "Leading for purpose " with Matt Linnegar

Welcome back to the Humans of Agriculture podcast - Episode 18 I’m your host Oli Le Lievre and thanks for joining me as I share these conversations during a pretty unique time in our lives. One thing I have loved in the last few weeks is people reach out from all walks of life asking more about agriculture and particularly those from city backgrounds that may not know a way in. It’s bloody cool, and if you do want to chat - please reach out!

I thought I’d take the chance to jump back to a  chat I had for the Future Farmers network mentor of the month podcast with Matt Linnegar earlier this year - we chat about leadership, mentoring, purpose and just generally Matt’s journey.

I really enjoyed listening back to this conversation with Matt, not only because he’s a ripping bloke but he offers some incredibly sound advice.

The conversation highlights Matt’s passion for the industry and how understanding what impact he wanted to have – really drove his career forwards. Matt’s relationship based approach is very relatable, from the frontline of Issues as the CEO of the National Farmers Federation to now working with some of the most remote communities in Australia and overseas.

Currently as the CEO of the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation Matt is a strong supporter of leadership development as a critical factor to the success of rural, regional and remote Australia.

This chat is a bit of fun and so I thought id start it a bit differently!
